I did nearly six hours intense work on my MacBook Pro yesterday (Photoshop, Indesign, updating software and numerous other tasks).
I don't have a temperature gauge in my menu bar, so I don't know how hot the MacBook became, except it was quite hot to touch at the back.
Can this happen?
Alright I am wondering what temperature the computer has too get too in order to shut itself off. what I mean is, at what point will the compute shutdown or crash before it overheats? I think my mac mini (07 model) is getting too hot and it shut off a few mins ago (not gracefully shut down more like someone yanked the powercord out ) and I think that the shutdown may be related to heat problems.

I downloaded a program to monitor my late 2008 unibody Macbook Pro's temperatures. Just a few minutes ago while playing music/playing an ONLINE game real briefly it warned me that my CPU temperature was too high. (167˚ F) Is that too high of a temperature? What should the "range" be?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI was just adding some Quicklook plugins when my temps started to soar. I have restarted, repaired permissions, removed said plugins, and tried other accounts. Nothing is lowering the temps. Weird thing is is Activity Monitor is showing NOTHING using the processor nearly enough to jump my temps to 85 C with nothing running.
I'm "controlling" the issue for now by ramping my fans to full speed. Even with this I am hovering around 70 C...a good 10-15 C above what I am normally at (and was at 30 minutes ago).
*Note: Normally running fans at 6000rpm would give me temps in the mid to low 40 C range
I have a MacBookPro5,4 2.53GHz with one fan and only the 9400M. After updating to 10.6.3 the operating temperature seems to have risen from about 43 degrees C to about 48. It has been getting warmer here in Japan so the ambient temperature is different but I still think this rise in temp. is due to the update. I have smcfancontrol installed and set to 2500rpm instead of the normal 2000, but it seems to be not enough to keep the temp. under control, as it did before the update. Any relatively hard use of the cpu and the temp goes up to 60 degrees.

When I press the volume buttons it has the "no sign" underneath the audio gauge. Oh by the way this is a macbook from 2008.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been hearing a lot about macbooks overheating, and was just wondering what are the ramifications of it overheating? Does it act slower, or over time does over heating lead to long term defects or something? Are there sings I should look for or something I should do if I sense my mac getting really hot?
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy macbook 13" keeps going up to 70 all higher when i just turn on the computer and stays like that...i've downloaded smcfancontrol but it isn't stopping the temp down.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo...basically what is going on is that after a while, depends on how hard my computer wants to run and make itself hot, it will completely shut down. . .not sleep, power off.

Earlier this evening my Pro (OS X Lion) overheated seemingly randomly. I gave it time to cool down but had to restart it. Not too long after restarting, it started blaring a klaxonlike horn at me. I didn't know what to do so I just shut it down. It's working better for now, but we'll see.

My macbook pro overheated last night while in sleep mode. I starting it this morning it just kept a black screen and would do nothing else. Tried holding down power button for 10 secs and now it wont turn on at all. I pulled the battery out and unplugged the from the charger. Put it back in the computer got warm without even being on. Don't know what to do. Do not have apple care, mac was bought through school and is 4 years old. Is there anything that can be done to save it?

Recently i dont know what has happened to my mac but what ever i do i can't get the screensaver to auto start it will start with hot corners but anything else not a chance.
I have tried repairing the permissions but at a loose end now and dont want the screen burning.
I was wondering what you do to get the oil smudges off of your blackbooks body? I cant seem to get them off. I have tried some lysol wipes which helped, but not much. I dont want to use gloves everytime I use my Mac

Stange one this ( or really obvious and I just can't see the answer ).
I have transfered a CAD program to another computer so I can leave it up and running to do a really long render - several days worth.
So I transfered all relevant files to the new machine ( 17" MBP 2.8 ) - and the programs and files run fine. However the programs control windows were collapsed to a single bar - no problem I thought, I'll just double click them to uncollapse them. But that didn't work, either with the trackpad or the mouse.
I then tried double clicking in windows on other programs, and this didn't work.
So the nub of the problem is that on the new machine the double click feature doesn't work.
How do I turn it on? I've tried looking at System Preferences / Trackpad etc. and can't see the answer.
the internal speakers dont work. there is red light in the soquet ...

View 5 Replies View Related I have a iMac 27" i7 8GB Ram. I installed Windows 7 64 bit. Everything seems to work just fine, except Blu Ray playback.
I have a LG BDRW drive in a 5.25" external caddy. When I try to play a Blu Ray using the bundled CyberLink PowerDVD HD software it says I dont have a HDCP display so it asks me to run a 'BD advisor' tool for more info.
That tells me that both the ATI 4850 card AND the display are not HDCP compliant. I know they must be so whats going on!?
can i do that? i looked around mail preferences and couldn't find anything...
i found the "prompt me to skip messages over ...KB" but i dont think that's what i want.i want to be able to receive the mail but for the mail app to ask me if i want to download the attachment or not!
i sent an html email to three different email accounts that i have set up on my iphone - gmail, mac.com, and a personal pop server. the email is pretty basic html - a simple table of text with just one image.both the gmail and personal pop accounts received the formatting properly, but for the mac.com account, it showed up as a mime-html attachment instead. is there anything that i can do to prevent that?
